A mid-summer transfer from Louisville prior to the 2012 season,
Malcolm was a welcome addition who had an impact in the defensive
line in his debut season...showed enough promise during the 2012
season and recent spring drills to lift him into the projected
starting spot at "bear" defensive end...a mature and veteran
player, he will be among the team leaders in his senior season...an
extremely agile defensive end who can be a presence in the pass
rush...showed his skills in every game last season including starts
in the final six games of the year...great feet and skills pose a
threat for every offense that he faces...appeared on the Athletic
Director's Honor Roll last fall.

AT TECH (IN 2012): Played in every game for the
Golden Eagles in his first season on the roster...played a backup
role in the first six games and started the last six games on the
schedule...racked up 44 total tackles, 13 unassisted, and three
tackles-for-loss..had five tackles at Southeast Missouri, and two
weeks later posted a career-high eight stops against Jacksonville
State...made six tackles vs. Eastern Kentucky and had seven against
Eastern Illinois.

BEFORE TECH: After redshirting in 2009,
Mitchell appeared in 11 games at defensive end for the University
of Louisville over the course of two years (2010 and 2011
seasons)...recorded eight total tackles, including 2.5 for loss,
with one of those coming against Ohio Valley Conference member
Murray State in 2011...Mitchell also recorded Louisville's only
fumble return in 2011 when he scooped up a Connecticut fumble and
ran it back 36 yards for a touchdown.

HIGH SCHOOL: A quarterback's nightmare during
his prep career at Dunwoody High School, Mitchell helped lead his
team to a 12-1 record in his senior campaign, racking up 70 tackles
and 10 sacks on the season...that performance earned him a spot on
the Atlanta Journal Constitution Top 150 list...also tallied 62
tackles and eight sacks in his junior year under coach James
Teter...named Honorable Mention Class 3A All-American by the
Georgia Sports Writers Association.

Personal: Son of Mildred and Michael
